葉劉去信立會要求Google親解國歌搜尋問題 如拒絕或用特權法傳召
Overseas sporting events have repeatedly mistakenly played the 2019 anti-extradition bill protest song “Glory to Hong Kong” as Hong Kong’s national anthem. Google has also recently rejected the HKSAR Government’s request to change the display order of national anthem search results and pin the correct anthem at the top. Regina Ip, Convenor of the Executive Council and a New People’s Party Legislative Council member, said she had written to request that three LegCo committees hold a joint special meeting and require a senior Google representative to attend and explain the matter. If Google refused to attend, she said the Legislative Council should consider using its statutory power under the Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Ordinance (Cap. 382) to summon it.
海外體育賽事接連將2019年反修例歌曲《願榮光歸香港》錯誤當作香港國歌播放,Google公司近日亦已拒絕特區政府修改國歌搜索結果展示次序,以及將正確的國歌置頂的要求。行會召集人、新民黨立法會議員葉劉淑儀表示,已去信要求立法會三個委員會召開聯席特別會議,要求Google派高層代表出席解釋,假如對方拒絕出席,認為立法會應考慮使用《立法會(權力及特權)條例》(第382章)內的法定權力傳召。

港府重新設計國歌網頁 無須Google協助 指每位官員分享必能置頂 網民批原來是不懂SEO
Amid the Google national anthem dispute, the Hong Kong government repeatedly insisted and threatened that Google should change the top search result for “Hong Kong national anthem” from “Glory to Hong Kong” to “March of the Volunteers”, but Google rejected this in a statement. Yesterday, 20 December, Chief Executive John Lee maintained that Google must bear responsibility. Today, 21 December, a Sing Tao Daily column cited a source as saying that the government had realised the national anthem webpage had shortcomings and had begun redesigning it. The government reportedly believes that if every official shares the webpage, it should be able to place the page at the top regardless of whether Google compromises.
Google 國歌紛爭至今,港府一再堅持、威脅對方修改「香港國歌」置頂結果由《願榮光回歸香港》改為《義勇軍進行曲》,遭 Google 聲明拒絕。昨 12 月 20 日,特首李家超堅持 Google 須負責任。今 21 日,《星島日報》專欄引消息指,港府意識國歌網頁具缺陷,已開始重新設計,認為若每位官員都分享國歌網頁,相信無論 Goolge 是否妥協,都能令網頁置頂。

錯播國歌|政府要求Google將國歌置頂 將找方法讓《願榮光》「沉底」
The Hong Kong team was competing at the South Korea leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens tournament when the organiser played the wrong song. Asia Rugby explained that a junior staff member had downloaded the national anthem online. The Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau said Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Sun Dong had met a senior Google executive responsible for public policy and government affairs in the Asia-Pacific region, hoping Google would arrange for China’s national anthem, “March of the Volunteers”, to appear at the top of search results when relevant searches were made. The bureau quoted Google as saying it had confirmed receipt of the written request and would follow up. Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki said the government would find a way to make the erroneous version of the song “sink to the bottom”.
早前亞洲七人欖球賽香港隊於韓國站作賽時,主辦方播錯歌。亞洲欖球總會解釋因為有初級員工在網上下載國歌。創新科技及工業局表示,創科局長孫東已與Google亞太區公共政策及政府事務高層會面,冀對方設定當有相關搜尋時,搜尋結果將中國國歌《義勇軍進行曲》置頂,局方引述Google回覆指已確認收到相關書面要求,並會跟進。政務司長陳國基就指,會找方法令錯誤版本的歌曲「沉底」。
